How exactly are they ripping people off? They are buying at X and selling at Y, thats just business.
They might be paying VAT and duty on the chinese price - which we dont even know what it is yet.
Also they add value with programming, support and warrentee (assuming that they do of course).

I was very careful to say IF they are ripping people off.
I will hold my judgment until we find out the actual price of the radio/phone, but I doubt it will be more than £120 including import duties. I doubt he is adding £100 of value to a product by installing Zello on it before sending...

There are similar products for sale on other websites such as alibaba for around 100-130 USD. In GBP that is a lot less. Based on this information, I think this product will turn out to be somewhere in the region of £80-100.

Programming? Its a telephone!

Support? He has folded 17 companies in the last few years... I doubt there will be much "support" in 3 years time.

I'm not sure what a "warrentee" is, but as I said, he has folded 17 companies and counting.

The guy in the video's (which look like they are from a proper office, not a back bedroom) identifies himslf as 'Jay', the guy who has dissolved many companies is Neil James Clark. Same person? are we sure?

Not when I'm selling them AT COST with custom made Peter Jones cases, remote speaker mics, unterminated leads with pin out etc etc.
And you all know where to find me. I don't "dissolve" my website or web presence every 5 minutes.

Until this thread started I'd not heard of Zello. Loaded it onto my works telephone today with my colleague and we were using it instead of the VHF, its quite good.
Then searched around for any radio groups, few scanner groups and a sussex downs repeater group - maybe someone will create a TX1 group, you never know
